Do you aspire to be a roving reporter? Can you scribe like a pro journalist? Do you fancy seeing your words in print on the largest independent gadget news and reviews site in the UK? Then you should head over to Firebox and enter its writer of the year competition in association with Pocket-lint.

All you have to do is email the gadget and gizmo site a 250 word review of a Firebox product of your choice.

The top 5 reviews will be published on Pocket-lint.com, with the winner and one runner-up also winning a pair of "golden tickets" to the quirky gift store's annual Christmas press event, held on Wednesday the 15 September in central London. It'll give you a chance to play with the hottest toys and gadgets this side of 2011.

If you think you’re up to the challenge, then get scribbling now and head on over to Firebox to find out the full details.
